Also, Windows coined programs as apps, so pretty much any application may now be called app.

You wouldn’t download a cat!

You don't need to download a cat. They distribute themselves very well. It's a feature. Try walking around with psspsspss coming out of your mouth and fancy snacks in your pockets and see what happens.

Your cat might see you as an app already!
